Thailand Peace, Serenity, Solitude – these are the words that come to mind for Pimalai, the recipient of numerous tourism awards. Add to that luxury, elegance, natural surroundings and genuine friendly service. Be it for a honeymoon, a wedding ceremony, a diving experience, a break from it all or even for a business meeting in Krabi or in Thailand, then Pimalai is the Andaman luxury destination to set your sights on. This exclusive beach resort, nestled in a lush tropical forest, combines all the right ingredients – subtle five-star comforts, natural beauty, environmental friendliness and lots of space. Located close to Lanta Marine National Park, and well away from crowded beaches and other boutique resorts on Koh Lanta, the only sound is that of the waves sliding in and out and slowly breaking onto the sandy beach. Built within the rainforest as it meets the silver ocean strand, you would hardly know Pimalai was there. This boutique beach resort occupies 100 acres of tropical vegetation with direct access to a 900-meters stretch of pristine sandy beach. It offers luxury accommodation in Deluxe, Bayfront Deluxe, Pavillion Suite, Beach Villa and Pool Villas - all very elegantly appointed. There are many exceptional attractions within a short distance of the resort, including the Marine National Park where numerous monkeys and other wildlife can be spotted and the stunning Emerald Cave, on Koh Muk. Eco-tour sea canoeing is also possible on nearby rivers, and Scuba Diving sites are exceptional in this part of Thailand because the surrounding coral reefs remain untouched. It takes about one hour by the resort boat to reach Koh Lanta and Pimalai from Krabi mainland, but once you arrive, you will discover a unique, secret boutique paradise in tourist Thailand. Visit once and you will return again and again...
